I'm so excited to share my new samurai betta with you finally! It feels like he's been a part of the family for so long now. What would you name him? Also, what do you think of his setup? Let me know, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

You bring the aquarium to be more of an aquarium. An etherical beeing like this special bettafish - in your scaping - becomes something of poetry or art. I guess it's kind of how I (non Japanese) am able to understand Japanese gardens and painting and higher ideals... but with a big part of the magical mystery of earth and nature. And just magic. Old magic. I just love it, thank you for showing this, it feeds my soul.

I love this sort of setup. I've made something similar for my black ghost knife fish and striped raphael cat. I call it the haunted forest. I only have java fern and one anubis nana plant but I might add more plants like those to the set up. I can only use Epiphyte because the ghost like to move the plants around when looking for food.

@@Pidgeonpeep I have a huge hollow log that he and sometimes the ghost hides in. I have several other hiding places but they like that one the best. From the sides it doesn't cover him all that much so I usually can see him. He's also learn that I provide food so when I come to the tank and he's hungry he'll poke his head out and once the food is in he'll come out fully.

As a samurai betta, I think it would be fitting to name him after a famous samurai! Maybe Musashi after Miyamoto Musashi, the brazen expert duelist who beat opponents in duels with only a wooden sword? Or maybe after one of the Three Great Unifiers of Japan, Oda Nobunaga, Toyomoti Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu? Excellent video as always :-)

You could name him 反抗期の兄弟, or 反抗兄弟. (Hankouki no kyoudai -> Hankou Kyoudai) This means “rebellious brother” or for those who don’t want to use the full, extended name: “Hank” would be a familiar/English rendition this name. Affectionately, however, he could be known as your rebellious “little brother”. ;) I don’t know if you ever get tired of hearing this, but I love your videos! My wife consented in my buying some supplies at our local thrift shop and collecting Spring samples around our home to keep in a terrarium. Thanks for the inspiration!
